Radiotherapy (RT) planning for Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) is resource-intensive and prone to variability. This study proposes and validates a fully automated pipeline synergizing deep learning-based 3D dose prediction with a know...

To automate the cervical cancer brachytherapy (CC-BT) planning process using two

Photon-counting detector (PCD)–based CBCT imaging has the potential to improve tissue visualization, tissue characterization, and dose calculation accuracy in radiotherapy. However, the energy spectrum of PCDs is contaminated by...

Deep learning dose prediction (DP) models rapidly predict radiotherapy dose distributions, addressing critical time constraints in adaptive radiotherapy (ART). Recent patient-specific (PS) approaches fine-tune models on individua...

To assess the repeatability of brain white matter sodium concentration (TSC) measurements using 3T sodium MRI with the Fermat Looped Orthogonally Encoded Trajectories (FLORET) 3D spiral.

A recent controversial study in NEJM reported associations between hematologic malignancy and low estimated bone marrow dose (≤1 mGy) from pediatric CT. Accurate interpretation of such findings requires a clear understanding of u...

In digital radiography (DR), the Exposure Index (EI) and Deviation Index (DI) provide standardized feedback on whether image receptor exposure is appropriately matched to patient size and clinical task. However, systematic, conte...

Pre-treatment heterogeneity in vascular architecture may contribute to differential susceptibility to radiation necrosis (RN), a dose-limiting toxicity of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Using routine pre-treatment MRI, we intro...

Accurate intraoperative assessment of tissue perfusion is critical for guiding debridement in traumatic and orthopedic injuries. However, existing fluorescence imaging systems are often unsuitable for resource-limited or high-amb...

Single-dose, low flip angle (LFA) dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI) has been adopted as a consensus protocol for brain tumor perfusion imaging. However, a lower flip angle could reduce contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) wh...

Mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a severe late complication of head-and-neck radiotherapy. Vascular compromise is thought to play a key role in ORN pathogenesis, yet early progression preceding bone failure remains poorly c...

Recent advances in MRI could offer patients with benign lung disease whole-lung ventilation mapping that may serve as a surrogate for pathophysiological changes such as increased airway resistance and decreased lung compliance. V...

Our previous work proposed a Neural ODE–based U-Net (NODE-UNet) that generates continuous trajectories to visualize the evolution of feature representations from the initial input to the terminal state. We hypothesize that modeli...

Functional imaging of the lung has found multiple clinical applications such as improving detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and improving outcomes in radiation therapy by sparing healthy tissue. CT Ventilation Im...

Material quantification in spectral CT assumes a known voxel background, such as water in iodine maps or hydroxyapatite in bone edema maps. These assumptions are never met in vivo, where voxels typically contain mixtures of tissu...

Radiomics models often exhibit unreliable performance and substantial variation across institutions. One aspect that has not been examined thoroughly is how parameter settings—such as normalization scale, outlier handling, and bi...

Accurate evaluation of near-wall hemodynamic metrics, i.e. wall shear stress (WSS), time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), and oscillatory shear index (OSI), is critical for understanding vascular disease progression. These ind...

Hypoxia is a marker of tumours progression and treatment outcomes. This study aims to non-invasively map tumour hypoxia using MR-oximetry in a syngeneic murine model. We evaluate the effect of radiotherapy (RT) and L-carnosine (v...

Low-field MRI suffers from intrinsically low SNR, which limits image quality and slows wide clinical adoption. Deep learning–based denoising shows strong promise, yet supervised training requires paired high-quality references th...

The basal thumb joint is a common site of osteoarthritis (OA) in the hand. Joint inflammation and changes in blood flow regulation are associated with disease progression; however, there is a limited understanding of synovial blo...

To develop a dual-mode radiation detector based on a novel perovskite scintillator for X‑ray and proton beam detection in clinical practice, addressing critical bottlenecks in long‑term stability, spatial resolution, and cost of...

Automated segmentation is increasingly integrated into radiotherapy planning workflows; however, ensuring reliable quality assurance (QA) remains challenging, particularly in pediatric patients due to substantial anatomical varia...
